The Advantages of Training Seminars and Conference Events
Training seminars and conference events are available on pretty much every topic imaginable including management training, sales training, interpersonal skills and health and safety training to name but a few.
The advantages of these events are numerous. For starters they can sometimes be less expensive than sending employees on an open course, or providing anin-house training session at the company's premises, which can be a particular advantage for those businesses with small budgets to spend on training and development. However on the downside delegates are likely to learn less than they would on a dedicated training course, particularly if it is a bespoke programme which is tailored to their exact job requirements.
Unlike training courses which may only be made up of people from the same organisation, a seminar or conference will be attended by a number of attendees from different companies and sometimes different industries too. This not only creates possible networking opportunities, but also is likely to provide delegates with ideas, tips and viewpoints on the particular subject that they may not have previously considered, as workers in a different industry may approach a similar problem from a completely alternative perspective.
Another advantage is that these events are often held in fancy hotels in desirable city locations. Whilst this may push up the price a little, it does provide the opportunity for company employees who are attending to combine the training with a small holiday. This little perk can greatly improve their morale and motivation for when they return to the workplace, particularly if they feel that their attendance has been granted to them as a reward and recognition for their efforts or achievements.
